Title
miR9772 , a Triticum ‐specific miRNA involved in regulating wheat salt tolerance and grain size
Wenqiu Pan; Chuyang He; Longjiao Hu; et al. The Plant Journal 2026. doi:10.1111/tpj.70725
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation miR9772 was identified as salt responsive and apparently Triticum specific.
- Intervention effect Salt stress significantly induced miR9772 expression.
- Intervention effect miR9772 overexpression increased wheat salt sensitivity.
- Intervention effect miR9772 silencing enhanced wheat salt tolerance.
- Mechanism miR9772 targeted CYP76C4 and decreased its expression.
- Intervention effect miR9772-silenced lines had higher grain yield per plant.
- Recommendation The authors propose miR9772 as an editing target for salt tolerance without yield penalty.
